Q53.12

Billable

Ectopic perineal testis, unilateral

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A testicle that failed to descend normally and is located in the perineal area (between the scrotum and anus) on one side of the body.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify unilateral (one-sided) versus bilateral when documenting; this code is specifically for unilateral cases
  • •Distinguish from other undescended testis locations (intra-abdominal, inguinal, high scrotal) for accurate coding
